  • One of the issues with multiple devices is networking. Transferring totally legit files for the Arr stack to and from the NAS can be a lot of data. Keeping it all in one system means your speeds up to that point are SATA speeds vs ethernet.

    For the OP, one file with hard linking is my goal, but I only use Usenet. I rip anything that comes down with Tdarr to strip languages, normalize audio and rip to H265. If you do that with torrents, you will need to keep the original for seeding.





  • Have you set up jellyfish at your home, given access to a friend outside of your network who could not setup Jellyfin themselves, and successfully got them playing on their TV, table tablet, and/or phone? Have you been able to set them up without them having to call you every week?

    Yes. It’s very easy. It might not have used to be easy but it is for the last couple of years. Dead simple. About a dozen people use my Jellyfin server across TV’s, phones, tablets, laptops. None of them are what I would call techies. It’s as simple for them as Netflix.




  • I think you can get Open Street Maps in the F Droid app store. But, as much as I appreciate OSM, it’s just not the same as Google maps. The speed, accuracy and information doesn’t seem to have an equal.

    You definitely can run Nextcloud in a VM. With decent hardware, it will do it. I guess I would say it depends on needs and expectations. My install is not snappy to me. I’ve got what I feel is a very beefy server but still. Just feels a little slow at times. Totally functional. Just has a small amount of lag when doing anything. I’ve read people say they have none at all. But when you’re busy and relying on it, my suggestion is to eke out everything you can for it for a better experience. Not make or break by any means.


  • I don’t think it’s a problem per se, as much as it’s a difference in priorities. But the docker implementation in TrueNAS is more of an afterthought. I think they’ve fixed some issues but checking out their forums, many of the issues I faced seem to still exist. Docker packages corrupting and not being accessible in any way, not updating, just seemingly, not robust. Also, I disliked the file permission structure but that’s more preference I think. I would say TrueNAS is a great NAS just not the best hypervisor and NAS.
